1. DO NOT start or operate the edger when an odor of gasoline is present or other explosive conditions exist.
2. Make sure the edger muffler is in place and operating properly.
3. Carry out periodic inspections of the muffler, clean away any debris or combustible material from the
muffler area. Replace the muffler when necessary. A defective muffler can permit an increased exhaust noise level.
4. Never operate the edger if the air cleaner or cover directly over the carburetor air intake is removed.
5. DO NOT choke the carburetor to stop the engine.
6. NEVER tamper with the preset governor springs, governor links, nor make any adjustment to the factory
engine speed presets.
7. DO NOT touch the mufflers, cylinders or fins as contact may cause burns.
8. Dirt or debris in the cooling fans or governor parts can adversely affect engine performance. Turn off
engine, let cool and then clean with a non-flammable brush.
9. Prior to starting the edger, check to make sure the blade is properly in place. A loose blade or no blade
can cause a sever kickback, making sure to remove the spark plug wire prior to checking.
10. Always keep hands and feet clear of moving parts.
11. If manual start is necessary always pull starter cord rapidly to avoid kickback.
Refueling
Olympia
Edger
1. Always shut down the motor of the edger and allow the engine to cool for at least two minutes before
adding any gasoline to the fuel tank.
2. In it situation where gasoline is spilled, move the edger away from the spill to a safe, vented area and do not
create any source of ignition until the gasoline has evaporated and the fumes have been exhausted out of the area.
3. Do not attempt to fill the edger while the engine is running.
4. Allow the engine time to cool off before refueling.
5. Refuel the gasoline fueled Olympia Edger outdoors or in a well ventilated refueling area.
6. When transporting the edger or when not in use, make sure the fuel supply valve is fully closed to
prevent the possibility of fuel leaking from the carburetor.
7. When servicing or checking the edger, first remove the wire from the spark plug or remove the spark plug.
8. DO NOT tilt the edger over at any time. This will prevent oil from draining into the carburetor or exhaust.
9. Never fill above 75% of the capacity of fuel tank.
4
NEVER RUN THE Olympia Gasoline FUELED EDGER IN AN ENCLOSED AREA. Gasoline engine
exhaust contains carbon monoxide, an odorless and deadly poison.

Maintenance
Procedure
To properly maintain the Olympia Edger follow the engine manufacturer’s maintenance instruction manual, which came
with your Olympia Edger.
Make sure you adhere to the oil specifications, grade and change intervals, air filter service and replacement schedule.
When you replace the spark plug at the appropriate scheduled time, make sure you replace it with the same kind of
spark plug that came with the engine and insure that the gap is set to 0.030 inches.
SAFETY NOTE: Never attempt to adjust the carburetor system!
Battery
Maintenance
The Olympia Edger comes equipped with a fully recyclable, non-hazardous material 12-volt electric battery. Please
note the battery on the Olympia Edger should be fully charged prior to use. To prevent deterioration of the battery it should
be stored at room temperature between 15 and 24 degrees Celsius (or 60 and 80 degrees Farenheit). It is important the
battery be fully charged prior to storage.
Fuel Storage
Spare fuel for the Olympia Edger must be stored in a well-ventilated storage area, which is safe and secure and
complies with all fire and safety regulations.
SAFETY IS YOUR FIRST JOB:
Always keep the edger away from all sources of ignition.
Never allow operators to smoke around the edger or in the
refueling and storage areas.
Never inspect the underside of the edger while the engine is
running or while the spark plug wire is attached.
Blade
Changing
Procedure
Before using the OLYMPIA™ Gasoline Edger you first must inspect
the blades to ensure they are undamaged and secured tightly to the
blade plate.
SAFETY NOTE: Prior to inspecting the blade tips make sure
you are wearing protective gloves.
(1.6 mm)
1. With the assistance of a second person, lift the edger onto a
workbench, making sure to lift with the legs not the back.
2. Always remove the spark plug wire first before servicing the edger.
3. Remove the Oil Drain Plug and drain the oil.
4. Re-install the Oil Drain Plug.

SAFETY NOTE: Failure to follow this procedure will result in oil leaking from the carburetor saturating the
air filter, making it very hard to start the edger and requiring the air filter to be replaced.
5. Rotate the blade plate and visually inspect each of the blade tips to ensure they are undamaged, sharp and securely
tighten to the blade plate. If the blade tip is damaged, the edger will vibrate and you will get an uneven finish on the ice. Even
more important, a loose or damaged blade tip could seperate from the blade plate and cause serious injury or damage.
SAFETY NOTE: Most blade damage is caused by hitting screws in the dasher boards or ice surface
entrance threshholds.
6. When a blade needs replacement, first undo the four bolts holding the blade plate in place.
7. On a work surface loosen the two bolts holding the blade tip to the blade plate.
Remove the damaged tip and replace it with a new blade tip, making sure to position it correctly on the plate before
tightening the holding bolts to a maximum 11 ft. lbs of torque.
8. Using a straight edge along the opening in the cutting side of the edger, adjust the blade tips in or out along the
slotted guides until they are 1/16 of an inch (1.6 mm) from the straight edge. Hand tighten and check clearance. Positioning
the blade tip beyond the blade guard casing will cause damage to both the blade tip and the boards. To maintain the
consistent edging, make sure the blade tips are the same distance from the outer edge of the blade guard casing. To double
check, measure an existing undamaged blade for the proper measurement and adjust the new blade accordingly.
9. On the eight blade plate, we recommend every second blade be inset by moving it to the back of the slide groove. The
alternate blade tips are positioned correctly by measuring from the outer edge of the blade guard casing to the tip of the blade.
It should be 1/16" to 1/8" inside the edge. Positioning the blade tip beyond the blade guard casing will cause damage to both the
blade tip and the boards.
To maintain the consistent edging, make sure the blade tips are the same distance from the outer edge of the blade
guard casing.
To double check, measure an existing undamaged blade for the proper measurement and adjust the new blade
accordingly.
When the blades are inspected and replaced if necessary, re-attach the blade plate with the four bolts making sure to
tighten to a maximum 11 ft. lbs. of torque on the grade 8 bolts.
Safety Note: Make sure you do not over torque the blade attachment bolts. It can cause the blade to
break and fly out from under the edger. Because of the high velocity of the spinning blade plate this can be
extremely dangerous.
10. Refill the oil using 10W/30 oil
11. Reconnect the spark plug wire.
12. With the assistance of a second person lift the edger off the workbench and place it back onto the floor.

Ice Edging
Proceedure
Once the egder blades have been inspected and replaced if necessary, you are ready to edge the ice surface.
The OLYMPIA™ Gasoline Edger is designed to remove ice build up along the boards and level the ice surface. Ice
buildup extends from the board into the ice surface. To properly level the ice we recommend the following proceedure:
1.
2.
3.
Check to ensure there is adequate fuel in tank.
Check the oil level and top up if necessary.
With the blades in the "Up" position, push the Olympia Hand Edger onto the ice surface.
Safety first: Before entering the ice surface make sure you are wearing steel toed boots, safety googles
or glasses, and studded slip on boot covers to provide proper traction on the ice.
4. Push the OLYMPIA™ Gasoline Edger onto the ice surface. Securely close the entrance door and ensure that all the
other entrance doors are closed and secured.
5. Walk the entire circumference of the ice surface examining the board surfaces for protruding screws and materials
embedded into the ice and / or boards. Remove any such debris. This will prevent damage to the edger, the boards and
most importantly to the operator.
6. After completing the board inspection walk around the circumference of the rink a second time, examining the ice
surface for high spots. Using a felt tip pen, mark the beginning of a high spot with a line and an arrow pointing forward
along the high spot. At the end of the high spot mark another line and an arrow pointing backwards. This will clearly
indicate where you have to spot edge the ice.
7. Move the remote choke lever forward to choke the engine prior to starting.
8. Compress the safety handle bar.
9. Turn the key on the handle to start the engine.
10. Once the engine has started, return the choke lever to the off position
11. With the blades in the fully up positon push the edger forward to the first marked high spot.
It is very important to keep the edger moving thoughout the edging process.
12. When the edger is against the board and you reach the first arrow, lower the cutting blades by pushing the lock button
on the blade height control lever to release it and lower the cutter asembly by pushing the lever downward. The blades will
begin to cut into the high spot , removing the ice. As you reach the end of the high spot, push in the control button on top of the
blade height lever and pull up to bring the blades off the ice surface. Repeat this until each high spot has been removed.
13. Once the high spots are removed do a second lap around the ice circumference. Move the edger against the boards
with the blades spinning in the raised position. Now, moving forward, push the blade height control lever until the cutter
assembly starts cutting a thin cut of the ice. Maintaining that cut level, edge the entire circumference of the ice surface.
SAFETY NOTE: NEVER move the OLYMPIA™ Gasoline Edger backward when the blades are moving or try
to cut backwards.
14. After completing the edging operation, pull the blade level lever back to the top position in order to fully raise
the blades. (Damage to the cutting tips, blade arm and /or crankshaft may occur if the blade arm is not fully raised prior to
starting and stopping the edger engine.)
